St. Joseph’s College
2nd Year Music Class trip.
Our 2nd Year Music students spent a very enjoyable day in Cork recently, where they attended the Cork Pops Orchestra concert in City Hall. They also managed to get in a visit to the renowned English Market and a spot of shopping. A thoroughly rewarding experience for many of the students who attended a live orchestra for the first time.
St. Joseph’s College, Borrisoleigh U15 Hurling Team
The U15 hurlers came top of their group on Thursday last at a blitz in Thurles. They beat Colaiste Mhuire Durlas in the first game on a scoreline of 0-7 points to 0-5, before they got the better of Colaiste Cluain Meala in the second game 3-5 to 0-1.
They are now through to a county final which will be played this week. Well done boys.
Retirement Night Appreciation
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all who were associated in any way with the Mass of Thanksgiving and Retirement Night Celebration on Friday night, last. To the organising committee, Board of Management, Parents Association, staff, pupils, wider school and parish communities and all who attended or sent messages on the evening, I will always be grateful for your hard work, kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity which made it an evening which I will never forget. It has been my privilege to work in St. Patrick’s BNS and Scoil Naomh Cualán since 1983 and I thank all the children, parents, staff and management over the years who have left me with wonderful memories and great confidence and hope for the future of our community which has such a rich heritage and amazing potential. I look forward to seeing Scoil Naomh Cualán and all associated with it go from strength to strength in the future and wish every blessing on all involved with this very special school which is dedicated to the memory of our monastic past.
Go raibh míle maith agaibh go léir.
